Grateful to Evangelidis

Thank you Representative Lew Evangelidis for helping to secure more funding for after-school bus transportation for the Wachusett Regional School District. Since 2003 Wachusett Regional High School parents have had to pick up their students who stay after school. This meant grappling with carpooling and family schedules, spending time driving to Holden and back (for those folks who live in the other four towns) plus absorbing the high cost of gas. For parents of athletes that meant driving to Holden every day, Monday through Friday, sometime between 5 and 6 o'clock.

This year, however, the district is providing late buses. By acting as our advocate, Lew has worked to increase the budget for regional school transportation. I am extremely grateful to Rep. Lew Evangelidis, especially around dinner time.
